The purpose of the Keep Kids Covered Act is to ensure that certain children have continuous health coverage under Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). The main goal is to provide stability in healthcare access for children, reducing the risk of gaps in coverage that can occur due to changes in eligibility. Key provisions of the Act include extending the period of continuous eligibility for children. Specifically, it allows deemed newborns to remain eligible for Medicaid and CHIP until they turn six years old, instead of just one year.
